Bon Jovi in The Big Issue
From The Big Issue's website:
The Big Issue exists to offer homeless and vulnerably housed people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income. We produce a weekly entertainment and current affairs magazine which vendors buy from us for 85p and sell to the public for £1.70, keeping 85p for themselves. Vendors must adhere to a code of conduct whilst selling the magazine.So, as I'm not in the UK, I don't have access to the magazine or the article; I know some folks who have it and (rightly) are not sharing until the next issue comes out so that the sellers will have the most time possible to sell the magazine. I will keep my eyes open for the scans and post them when I get them!
We believe in offering ‘a hand up, not a hand out’, but we also recognise that earning an income is the first step on the journey away from homelessness. The Big Issue Foundation is a registered charity which exists to link vendors with the vital support which will help them address the issues which have led to their homelessness. The Foundation works exclusively with vendors, offering support, advice and referrals.
The Big Issue - a hand up, not a hand out...
